Month: March 2017

Continuing my coverage of the 2017 SXSW Film Festival at Hammer to Nail, here are five more pieces: 3 reviews (for which one has no accompanying interview) and 2 interviews. Still others have already been posted, but I am still only posting reviews (for which I also conducted interviews) after their accompanying interviews have been posted, too. More to follow in the days ahead. Here are links to my three previous SXSW 2017 posts: first, second and third. In addition, I wrote a thorough overview of my experience at SXSW for Film Festival Today. Here are links to all posts:

Continuing my coverage of the 2017 SXSW Film Festival at Hammer to Nail, here are six more pieces: 3 reviews and 3 interviews. Still others have already been posted, but I am keeping it simple and only posting reviews after their accompanying interviews have gone live, as well. More to follow in the days ahead. For my first post on SXSW 2017, go here, and for the second, go here. In addition, I ran a review of Craig Johnson’s latest film, Wilson, today at Film Festival Today. Here are links to all posts:

Continuing my coverage of the 2017 SXSW Film Festival at Hammer to Nail, here are four more pieces: 2 reviews and 2 interviews. Others have already been posted, but I am trying to keep it simple here and only post the reviews after their accompanying interviews have already gone live, as well. More to follow in the days ahead. For my first post on SXSW 2017, go here. Here are links to all posts:

Now that I am writing consistently for both Hammer to Nail (for the small-budget indie stuff and documentaries) and Film Festival Today (for the bigger films), do not expect me, dear reader, to use this blog for much more than a place to catalog those other posts – to use it as a clearinghouse, of sorts – though I may still write the occasional piece solely for chrisreedfilm.com. Still, by coming here and seeing what I post, you will find quick and easy links to the work I do out in the world as a professional film critic.

I just returned from the 2017 SXSW Film Festival, in Austin, Texas, during which I saw and reviewed many films and conducted many interviews with filmmakers, only some of which have posted, so far, at Hammer to Nail. I am working on a summary piece about my overall impressions of the festival, which I will soon post at Film Festival Today. Below, please find links to selections from the coverage that has run so far, as well as to my review of the most recent Beauty and the Beast, which ran last Friday at Film Festival Today, and Onur Tukel’s Catfight, which I reviewed for Hammer to Nail just before leaving for SXSW. More to follow in the days ahead.

The fantastic Dragon Digital Media team did their usual superlative job putting this together, especially producer Karen Vadnais and director Danielle Maloney, as well as floor manager Anthony Hoos. We’ll be back at the start of May with another episode, so stay tuned. Until then, have fun at the movies!

Here are 9 recent reviews of mine for Hammer to Nail: 2 Criterion Blu-rays (Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Dekalog and Laurie Anderson’s Heart of a Dog); a piece on the 2017 Oscar-nominated short films; and reviews of As YouAre,Dark Night, Midsummer in Newtown, A Patch of Fog, 13th and This Is Everything: Gigi Gorgeous.
